Suppose you are a euro-based investor who just sold Microsoft shares that you had bought six months ago. You had invested 10,000 euros to buy Microsoft shares for $120 per share; the exchange rate was $1.03 per euro. You sold the stock for $171 per share and converted the dollar proceeds into euro at the exchange rate of $0.94 per euro. First, determine the profit from this investment in euro terms. Second, compute the rate of return on your investment in euro terms. How much of the return is due to the exchange rate movement? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal places.)

Suppose an investor is interested in purchasing the following income producing property at a current market price of $ 1,490,000. The prospective buyer has estimated the expected cash flows over the next five years to be as follows: Year 1 = $88,000, Year 2 = $90,662, Year 3 = $91,923, Year 4 = $95,778, Year 5 = $97,000. Assuming that the required rate of return is 15% and the estimated proceeds from selling the property at the end of year five is $1,860,000, what is the NPV of the project? What is the IRR of the project?

You invested $2,500 in Awesome Software, Inc. The company did well that year, and you received a check for $300. What was your rate of rate of return on this investment?

Suppose that you have the following utility function: U=E(r) – ½ Aσ2   and A=3  Suppose that you have $10 million to invest for one year and you want to invest that money into ETFs tracking the S&P 500 (US) and S&P/TSX 60 (Canada) index, which are often used as proxies for the US and Canadian stock markets, respectively, and the Canadian one-year T-bill. Assume that the interest rate of the one-year T-bill is 0.35% per annum.   You have found two ETFs that you are interested in. From a set of their historical data between 2001 and 2019, you have estimated the annual expected returns, standard deviations, and covariance as follows: ETFUS :  E(r)= 0.070584 0.173687 ETFCDA  :  E(r)= 0.073763                                     0.16816 Covariance between ETFUS and ETFCDA = 0.02397 Answer the following questions using Excel: What is the optimal portfolio of ETFUS  and ETFCDA? Also submit an Excel file to show your work.

Suppose the quotes for currencies in the three money centers are given as follows: At London center: 1GBP = 150 JPY At Tokyo center: 1USD = 115 JPY At New York center: 1USD = 0.86GBP An investor has 100,000 USD. Is there any opportunity for arbitrage? If yes, explain how does the investor use arbitrage to take advantage of these data? And how much could he or she earn from this?

An employee at Azai Bank seeks to evaluate a transaction using the risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) model. The transaction entails extending a loan to an agro-based entity with the following details:- The risk-free rate of return is 7%- Loss given default (LGD) = 51%- Exposure at default (EAD) = ZMW 2.5 million- Probability of default (PD) = 40 basis points The bank's economic capital (EC) model assesses an EC charge for the firm, equivalent to 5% of EAD, amounting to ZMW 100,000. Assuming a RAROC hurdle rate of 15%, the transaction yields a net profit of ZMW 14,000 before other adjustments. Tasks:A. Calculate the bank’s risk-adjusted rate of return on the loan to the agricultural company. B. Additionally, consider the scenario where the bank could have extended a loan of the same amount, generating an identical net profit of ZMW 14,000 before adjustments to a pharmaceutical products manufacturing firm, with an EC of 2.5%. C. Determine which loan the bank should prioritize…

A property investor purchased a retail property in London with a market value of £250.0 million. The property is multi-tenanted. The purchase is financed with a £170.0 million “5-year loan” with an annual debt service due of £9.0 million that includes a £3.4 million annual amortisation. The net average annual cash flow of the investor is £14.85 million. You are a rating analyst and being asked to estimate the following: a) Estimate the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR).b) Based on your estimate of the DSCR and a diversity score of 5: i) Estimate the Tenant’s Contribution (TC) to the DSCR. ii) What is the Term default risk rating equivalent? c) As a rating analyst, you haircut the market value of the property by 10.0%. Based on this haircut: i) Estimate the Haircut property value and Haircut Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio.ii) Estimate the Refinancing Haircut LTV ratio. Table 1 provides the mapping of different DSCRs to the Term default risk rating equivalent. Refer to the image…
